Stephen is a motivational speaker, a natural bodybuilder and the creator of Monster Fitness in Virginia. But he wasn’t always fit. At his heaviest, he weighed 287 lbs. Being an arena football player originally kept him in shape, but he had a career-ending knee injury and his mother passed away. With those two traumatic events in his life happening so close to each other, Stephen says he lost his drive.

“Being at the gym is something I know I have to do. But it’s a daily struggle to make the right choices in the kitchen.”
